On my car my belt problems were due to misalignment and a warped pulley that had walked out and caused misalignment.
ATI gave me all my belts at cost and the pulleys too. I probably have more pulleys for my ATI Kit than anyone here and they all have been off at one time or another.
Since getting my belts aligned correctly (2 or more months ago??) I have not had any further belt problems. I do not think it is an issue of power but more of an alignment thing.
As for "dust" it's an engine man a race engine at that. I don't plan on eating off the thing. You want to talk about dust lets talk about brakes and my rims

With the Vortech the belt comes really close [1/8 of an inch ] away from a bolt and seems even closer on the blower it self .After about 500 miles and 11 dyno runs I did notice it sarted to squeel at start up and the belt started to hit that bolt . No Dust at all from it

There were 2 people that had issues with ATI belts. One person had taken a bolt out of the bracket (that needed to remain for balance) and the other had a warped pulley. Both issues were caused by outside circumastances and were not due to ATI's design or setup.
